Neverwinter Forest a game of turtle

He shook his head, declining the turtle meat. "I'm actually not a big fan," he explained. Truth be told, Peregrine thought that turtle tasted like pond scum, which he assumed was due in part to its diet and habitat. They ate worms, for crying out loud. No thank you.

Luke seemed surprised by the question, which made Peregrine smirk, though he quickly recovered and explained. "I guess I was having a hard time picturing you like that. I've only known you for five minutes but you're so..." He paused, searching for the right word. "Sunny." He kind of wanted to ask for the juicy back story, but just like Peregrine did not go around sharing his darker secrets with just anyone, he did not go prying into others' either.

"You're just different than anyone I've met," the black wolf continued after a beat of thoughtful silence. "I have a lot of stoic and surly types in my life, I guess, and rarely one so lighthearted and bouncy. It's kind of refreshing. And somehow you manage not to be utterly annoying," he added, laughing at the somewhat backhanded compliment.
